I tried recording with Fraps a bit but I can't seem to get the sound to work. Recording volume is up all the way, so is the master volume but all I hear is cracking.

Edit: I got it to work, you can expect a video very soon.

The videos turn out really big. I tried shooting a couple of matches and the smallest I got was 3 files of 4Gb each which is 12Gb total. Uploading that would take a long time and I don't really have the means to lower the file size while still keeping the quality.

Assassin, if you have Windows Vista (not sure about XP) you can import many different file types in to Windows Movie Maker then simply export the movie and you will be given a variety of different resolutions to encode in. If you pick 720p that’s the most common HD resolution TV’s support so would be perfect for the movie, it should dramatically reduce the file size too.



Alternatively you could look at this guide I created here and use Auto GK: http://digiex.net/guides-tutorials/2...are-tools.html. The guide is not exactly relevant but scroll down to the bit where I’m talking about Auto GK. You could use a target percentage quality of 75% then in advanced settings try a fixed width of 1280 to keep the video resolution HD.

I’m not 100% sure if an Auto GK encode will be HD quality, in theory it will with the settings above.

I use XP and apparently Windows Movie Maker for XP can't do HD. I'll try your Auto GK guide now. I'll let you know if it worked.

Edit: It doesn't work, I keep getting the same error:
Avisynth open failure:
Convert To YV12: Interlaced image height must be multiple of 4

Good work there Assassin, I think that turned out quite well
The guy you were against was quick, I’m going to have to train up on Ra2 before Ra3 is out.

Some of those guys are ridiculous, you haven't built half your base and they're already coming in with a full army. Something I see quite often though which I think is very cheap is that at the beginning of the game just when you have built your barracks your enemy will send a dog, bear or panda in and put it right in front of your barracks so every time you build a unit it gets killed immediately.

The Red Alert 3 beta forum has 75 almost 76 thousand views. That's VERY good.

It would be really cool if you could make gameplay videos for the other factions too ^^. I would highly appreciate that.
